This beautiful sprawling Ranch Acres home nestled in the heart of Mid-town Tulsa received a major addition and remodel back in the late 1990s. It was always a wonderful home, but the homeowners were searching for a way to brighten up the space and make the home a reflection of their personality. Vibrant colors paired with soft shades of white and gray truly make this home feel youthful at heart. As a former teacher, homeowner, Carol, always saved the little tokens from games and every child who walks through her door adores them. That inspired me to pull all the colors and youthful patterns that reflect her contagious enthusiasm for life. Old board games and puzzles from her youth became art in the family room. Lego people from her boys youth become models in a photo shoot for living room art. We went to the extreme with fun ideas. The unused living room was transformed into a library of color. Amazing how a few books can change a room. Even the dogs, Mac & Wally, got their own new living space, a custom dog kennel built into the wall. Every piece of furniture, every accessory brought more color, more joy and tied in to this family’s love of life.

This stunning modern piece of art was created by collaborating with local architect, Brian Freese, and local builder, Austin Lee, LLC. Creating a spec home this awe inspiring is always a unique experience. The goal was to keep everything simple, clean and enhance the beauty of the overall design. Soft neutral colors lead to a palette ready for any new homeowner. Clean white back painted glass pops out against the beautiful walnut in the kitchen. A luxurious master bath leads to a stunning master closet worthy of any high-end store. Bringing the cabinets up off the floor and letting them float while lighting enhances the effect under, just adds to the overall modern appeal. Floating mirrors back lit in the bathrooms spreads a soft glow of light around the room. Its the simple details that make a modern house stand out.

This charming house on Quaker acquired the most delightful family. As much as they loved the house, the kitchen was a tiny 10 foot by 14 foot box that needed more space for a growing family. Together we agreed that adding on to the house was not an option, but taking the dining room to make a fantastic kitchen was definitely our best choice. Homeowners, Derek & Lauryn, wanted a quaint charming space with an updated modern look. Simple shaker style cabinetry, gleaming carrara marble countertops paired with a very modern custom hood gave them a dreamy kitchen. Limited space meant every inch of space needed to function with a specific purpose. A coffee bar set at one end of the kitchen, a custom butcher block table built into the end of the island, lots of drawers for easy access to dishes and a custom pantry make for a beautiful but very functional kitchen.

This unassuming 1980s modern home tucked onto a tree lined street is full of surprises. With gorgeous views, high ceilings and a fantastic existing layout, this house exudes a tremendous amount of potential. After being passed down from one generation to the next, the home’s new family was ready to create a timeless modern style to entertain. A courtyard on the backside of the house was creating water issues in the basement. So the solution was to enclose the courtyard adjacent to the kitchen. That allowed us to expand the kitchen, remove the wall between the kitchen and main hall, and create a huge open space for big gatherings. A huge island and custom created range/light fixture became the focal point of this entertainment space. A custom sink in the island becomes a container for iced beverages at parties. Custom quarter sawn oak cabinets stained a soft gray hide the kitchens refrigerators, and walk-in pantry. Completed over 10 years ago, this beautiful home is just as gorgeous as the day it was finished. Creating a space that stands the test of time is our specialty.

This beautiful 4500 square foot house started life as a 1980s modern home. The exterior certainly gave it a more modern flavor, but the interior left a lot to be desired. Filled with traditional cabinetry, floral wallpaper, an unusual master suite and missing a good portion of the roof, it provided a challenge. Substantial interior water damage led us to gut the interior of the house, raise the ceiling height in the kitchen and give the master suite the luxurious layout it deserved. Homeowners, Rusty and Syndy, wanted a clean modern interior with bright open space for their close knit family to gather. Shades of gray paired with whites throughout the home create a brightly lit living space. Beautiful modern cabinetry completely transform the kitchen into a stunning example of modern design, while being extremely functional. The center island creates a wonderful work space and a place for friends and family to gather. Moving and eliminating walls throughout the home gave the homeowners the open space they were seeking. Seeing the potential hiding in a damaged, dilapidated house is one of our specialties.

 A local builder and envisionary of all things Modern bought this mid-century ranch style home with the idea of creating a modern home. With the help of an architect, the house received a second story addition and new possibilities. The kitchen now opens up to the entire home and became the centerpiece for living. Custom hardware in the kitchen even creates a small piece of visual art nestled within the walnut. Making modern beautiful is about taking simple lines, proportions and creating beauty with them. Clean lines, lots of light and textures finish off the simply beautiful yet modern home.

Blank Med Spa joins our local Boxyard in downtown Tulsa. This small container size business district is charming, hip and very popular. Such a small intimate space meant there needed to be a lot of thought into the overall space planning, design and build. With four weeks to put this space together, the idea was to keep it clean and simple but very memorable. Bright white surfaces allow the space to appear larger and brighter. Custom designed cabinetry and floating mirrors give the space a hip modern feel.
